He judges the damned. She might be his salvation.
There's something wrong with the man in the expensive coat who haunts Chicago's dying bars. Damien knows things--terrible things--about every desperate soul he meets. Financial ruin. Terminal loneliness. The exact weight of guilt they carry.
Freelance journalist Kora should run. Instead, she makes a deal: his mysterious contacts for her human-interest stories. Every interview brings them closer to people on the brink, and closer to each other.
Some shadows have eyes. Some watchers have agendas. When ethereal strangers begin appearing with messages about "consequences" and "contracts," Kora realizes she's not just documenting human desperation anymore.
She's become part of it.
Because falling for someone like Damien means more than risking her heart. It means gambling with forces that treat love like a weakness and mortality like a punishment. In a world where some beings are built to judge and never feel, what happens when one chooses to fall?
Can a mortal woman's love outweigh eternity itself? Or are some souls too dark to save?
Download now and step into the shadows where redemption comes at an immortal price.
